The services provided under these contracts are varied and include archaeological inventories and site recording, evaluative test excavations, inventories for historic structures and buildings, archival research and literature reviews, GIS predictive modeling and GIS-based cartography, and evaluating effects to historic properties. To date, we have conducted more than a dozen archaeological inventory or evaluative testing projects across Oregon and northern Washington and have recorded and evaluated hundreds of archaeological sites covering the prehistoric and historic periods. Logan Simpson supports our IDIQ contracts by providing the complete range of cultural resources services from our Corvallis, Oregon office.

Project Highlights:

Prehistoric archaeology sites in the Salem, Eugene, Medford, and Roseburg districts include rock shelters, quarries (toolstone sources), small campsites, village or residential sites, and rock-art sites. Historic sites and structures on public lands in both states include ranches and railroad logging camps, Civilian Conservation Corps sites, and roads and trails. Cultural resources tasks covered under this contract include inventory (pedestrian survey), subsurface archaeological testing, archaeological data recovery, and evaluating historic buildings and structures.

The cultural resources studies Logan Simpson completes will help the BLM manage cultural resources throughout Oregon and Washington. The BLM manages cultural resources in order to conserve their significant cultural, scientific, educational, traditional, and recreational values for present and future generations.
